Chapter 1397: Chapter 1401 She Should Be Willing
Situ Jinse dodged the hand Situ Liunian had placed on her lower back and took a step back: "Brother, why are you here?"
"I just happened to pass by," Situ Liunian looked around and pointed to a secluded spot, "Can we go there and talk for a bit?"
Situ Jinse hesitated before nodding.
The two headed to a deserted and secluded place.
Situ Liunian cut to the chase: "Jinse, you’re about the same age as Xiao Mi, and Xiao Mi got married today. What about you?"
Situ Jinse cast her eyes down to the ground: "Big brother, I..."
For a moment, her emotions were a complex tangle, and she didn’t know how to respond.
"What about the matter I discussed with you, have you thought it over?" Situ Liunian asked, "If you agree, we could have our wedding soon too."
Situ Jinse shook her head, "Big Brother, Lanyu won’t agree, she would turn the house upside down."
"It doesn’t matter whether she agrees or not! What’s important is whether you are willing," Situ Liunian grasped her hand, caressing her delicate fingers, "Jinse, tell Big Brother, are you willing to marry me? To wear the wedding ring I prepared for you, to walk into matrimony with me, to take care of mom and dad together, to bring them joy and support in their old age... "
Situ Jinse withdrew her hand, her head hanging even lower.
She... she should be willing.
Last night, Mi Sheng told her to close her eyes and think carefully about whether she was willing to let Situ Liunian embrace her, to be more intimate with her.
She found... she was willing.
She had always thought that she and Situ Liunian were blood siblings.
Even when the shocking truth was revealed that she had been adopted and that Situ Lanyu was the biological daughter of their parents, she had never considered developing any other sort of relationship with Situ Liunian.
Until that last time in Feng City, the nature of her relationship with Situ Liunian had changed.
She didn’t repel it, much less feel disgusted.
On the contrary, fantasizing about the future possibility of marrying her brother, of looking after their parents together, of never having to leave their parents and living with them and her brother forever, she felt very happy and content.
The only worry was Situ Lanyu.
She had grown up with Situ Lanyu, and she knew her all too well.
If Situ Lanyu found out that Situ Liunian was going to marry her, she would definitely turn the house upside down, creating endless turmoil.
Their family would never be able to return to its formerly happy and peaceful days; it would be filled with constant strife and unrest.
That wasn’t what she wanted to see.
Her parents were getting on in years and couldn’t withstand such disturbances.
Her father had a weak heart, and if Situ Lanyu upset him too much, it would break her heart.
She loved Situ Liunian.
But she had too many concerns.
She didn’t dare to accept.
Situ Liunian grasped her hand once more, earnestly saying, "Xiao Jin, you only need to tell me whether you like me or not, whether you are willing to marry me. Leave the rest to me, you don’t need to worry about it."
Situ Jinse kept her head down, remaining silent.
"Xiao Jin," Situ Liunian said patiently, "I’ve already talked to mom and dad about this. I love you, and I want to marry you as my wife, and they are very happy, they all support me."
Situ Jinse suddenly looked up at him, "Really?"
"Of course," Situ Liunian nodded, "When has Big Brother ever lied to you? I was honest with mom and dad, I fell in love with you, I want to marry you as my wife, mom was so happy she spun around the house several times."
